I have an admission to make: I am powerless over site optimization and it was making my life out of control. Speed, speed and more page-loading speed. I tried all of the contenders out there and they gave me problems. Then I found this plugin. Especially in it's latest stages, with its exclusionary lists for .js(like xajax.js) and css exclusion by file, all of a sudden it works like a dream. Set it up, turn on the Joomla Cache plugin, add Query Cache and the site just flat out rocks and rocks hard. Our new site is on Dreamhost's VPS service, which has xcache as well, and our site, as it is coming along is stupid fast now and its score in YSlow is brilliant.

You cannot ask for much more than that.

We have a Pro registration and an old version of Seyret. We will not be updating. If they had installed this ad scheme as an option that allowed for other services, at the will of the customer, this would all be a non-issue. That said, locking paying customers into a revenue sharing service is not tolerable and I will be advocating amongst the partners on our site to use another video platform on 1.5.

If the situation changes, of course, we will stick with Seyret. But not under present restrictive circumstances. Not after paying for the license.
It's sad, really. Seyret is a good platform. But their desire to monetize their development activities has caused them to take one step too far. Paying customers should not have to even begin to consider ad service lock-in.

Came along at just the right time for me, as I am working for a company that has, as a job application menu selection, a link to an .xls form. Can you say "Ewww!". I know I did. This thing just dropped in and rocked. Now, all I have to get from the authors is where the terms of employment are, so I can edit them for the state the company is in, then all will be perfect.

If you need something like this, check it out. It really is farging great.

As others have said, this is a component that should be folded into Core. On the other hand, the number of great components out there that should be in core is great enough that the Joomla! distro package would balloon to the size of the FTP repository of WUSTL. Hence, this is something a new Joomla! user needs to get clued in on.

An easy to use UI is vital. It makes workflows smooth and efficient. The native UI in Joomla! is good, but CQI simply takes it to a new level. It is easy to use, and exposes the new user to core administration cxoncepts of Joomla! in a clear fashion, helping to cut the learning curve. And it makes running Joomla! easier.

I teach a class in Joomla at a local Adult Education school. Tonight, part of the class is going to be spent with CQI. I consider this class will be an important and productive one.

We use Joomla Tags and we have been using some form of Phil's tagging software just about since the beginning. The software from Phil is always solid and the least of our worries and Phil's support is always very responsive and timely in extremis.

Let me put it this way: The whole experience of using Phil's software and support would be a bargain at twice the price.

It is well worth paying a per site fee.
